President Trump spoke to reporters at the Capitol:

REPORTER: How can you justify cutting food assistance?

TRUMP: The cut is going to give everybody much more food because prices are coming down.

1. ??????......

[Johonny]

2. Trump fantasyland going to be epic

When the shit hits the fan. And it will.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

3. Classic.... Put this on his tombstone with better healthcare on day one, infrastructure week...

...ending the war(s) in 24 hours, building a wall that Mexico pays for, and on and on....

Why does anyone anywhere believe anything he says? If lies had a mascot it would be him.

[unblock]

4. A reasonable person might consider holding off on cuts until food prices come down...

And then only cutting to the extent people actually no longer need aid.

But of course, we're not dealing with a reasonable person....

[applegrove]

5. Are food prices going to come down when imports are tariffed

higher and the people who pick food for cheap are hunted down by ice and jettisoned out of the country?

[unblock]

6. Food prices will drop

when he plunges us into one big, beautiful recession, maybe the greatest recession ever, the likes of which no one has ever seen....

7. Well played Unblock. Well played.
